Mystery Minis Display

Great things come in mysterious miniature or pint sized packages, but which great thing will it be? It's all a mystery until you open one. Then the fun begins.

Mystery Minis Display

Postby edlopez0416 » Thu Jan 19, 2017 2:31 pm

I borrowed this ideal from babakittysdada (and others) of getting these "Multi-Level Display Box" from the container store

I have this display case on a book shelf, before I had this I just had them put where every they would stand on my pyramid of dorbz. I really love these cases I only have one for my HP set but I want to get a few more for other sets

Thanks I have never seen these display boxes before I will probably go out to my local container store and check them out. Right now i just have them in random places and was looking for ideas on how to place them all together

Shot glass cases for the win IMO. Far better organized, cleaner presentation since it doesn't allow for clutter with them overlapping/jammed into too small a space and the cases are wall mountable!

Just added a 4th and reorganized over the weekend:

For the wider minis I use one the curio cases for baseballs. Works pretty well, most fit between the two.

I really like the way the shot glass cases look. I plan on doing that at some point. Mine right now are all kind of just laying in a pile on a shelf, I got tired of standing them back up every time the shelf got bumped.

I have mines in a baseball display. You can pick them up at Michaels when theyre on sale for like $30. It fits a lot of Minis and it looks great.

They are so good! Not too small so it fits a lot, but not too big so it doesnt fit on anything.

I ended up making a few custom display stands using styrofoam too. They dont look super professional, but you can put a lot of minis on at once! :)

I ended up just making my own custom cases, sort of like the shot glass case, with a slide-open front. They are sized for the boxes so that I can put one of them into the display and everything else fits perfectly. I do two sizes, one for Funkos and one for Titans.

Do you have any pictures to share? I've been curious to attempt something but lack the proper tools to do it right. Bugs me that I can not find a clean looking pre-built display that could house Mystery Minis uniformly. I would so much rather have 4 of the same size display cases than the 2 of one and 2 of another I have now.

I second this if you have pics to share! Thats cool you sized them for the boxes!

Thanks! Shot glass & "Collector's Box" display cases from Michaels. They come black, I spray painted them white to match the rest of my shelving.

http://www.michaels.com/10147365.html (both are BOGO right now)

The shot glass cases fit most minis pretty well and the collector cases fit the rest of the oversized ones. Always keeping an eye out for a one-size fits all solution for my minis but have not found anything yet...

I'm in the middle of building a new one, here's a picture of the basic framework to give you some idea.

I use nail polish racks to wall mount my minis, and coin display cases from Michaels for the pint size heroes.

It works pretty well for the most part, however there are some minis that don't fit in the base of the polish cases. Here's an old picture (I have since rearranged my minis a bit across 4 of these wall hangers, and completed some sets).

Actually Michael's Keepsake displays are buy one get one free right now. Not sure which one you are referring to at $30 or maybe Michaels just doubled the prices and said buy 1 get one free lol
